Monty Python's budget was pretty tight for this film, hence the reason why they used coconut shells instead of real horses. It turned out to be a masterclass in comedy and enhances the film to a different level.
None of them knew or wanted to know how to ride a horse. I believe Terry Jones was afraid of horses too, so they had to come up with something to replace them. At least that’s the story I heard.
And yet.....three of my four favourite stand up comedians of all time are American. But (unless you count South Park) I can't think of an American sitcom I can bear to watch
@@LADYRAEUK I think the funniest bit about this is the fact that apparently the sense of humor hasn't changed over the years. Monty Python is lauded as a classic and an inspiration for comedy (and it really is), but recently a manuscript from the 1400's was found...that had a very similar punchline! XD No matter what century one is from, this type of humor is still funny. 🤣 www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8999695/amp/Tis-inspiration-Famous-Monty-Python-Black-Knight-sketch-depicted-text-1400.html
Saw a YT vid from a HS play that added to it. Halfway through, a kid came across the stage with a basket and picked up the limbs, calling 'arms for the poor'! 🤣🤣
"Alright then! We'll call it a draw!" I still think however, John Cleese's best line is in Life of Brian as the Roman Centuarian where he says "You're f@ckin' nicked!" like an old British copper 😂
They were without any doubt the funniest cast of guys I ever watched as a kid. (Although Benny Hill and his friends came close at times.) The clacking coconut shells instead of horses still cracks me up to this day.
When John Cleese was asked to read the eulogy at the funeral of his friend and fellow Python actor Graham Chapman he did it in true Python style, " Good riddance to the free loading Bastard I hope he rots. "
my favorite bit in the movie, besides this one, is the "My name's Dennis" sketch - the sheer word play and sarcasm of Michael Palin just kills me, over and over and over again. "If some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd take me away!"
I don’t know how many times I have watched this but I still laugh. The first time I saw it as a teenager nearly fell off my chair in the cinema laughing.
Did anyone else notice that the bridge is over a very shallow depression that is completely dry. They could just ignore the knight and "ride" around him.
Apparently, when they were casting for the film, the Pythons advertised for an armless and legless actor to do the last segment, and the part was won by a friend of a friend who was a victim of thalidomide.
The nostalgia these 50 year old timeless clips are creating-all the buddies over listening to the LP-bags of weed being consumed singing all the songs-those were the days my friend.
I liked especially the scene, where they meet the almtighy magician... Where John Cleese should give a tremendous name, but forgot his line and said instead: Call me... Tim..." And the cast just goes with it, if nothing happens... Hilarious
It never seems to wear thin either. I often search the French taunts scene on here. Cleese was magnificent as the Frenchman. I’m laughing as I write this 😂
MP was humor like no other before or since. Some of their television sketches were completely off the scale and their two films, Holy Grail and Life of Brian were comedy gold.
Being a child of the 70's and a 80s kid I grew up watching and hearing everything I see in reaction videos. So seeing someone discovering these gem some of us loved. On a side note Graham Chapman the one who plays Arthur it's been said he was drunk the whole shoot.
There’s actually some hidden brilliance to this. One thing you might notice is The Black Knight’s animal sigil is a boar 🐗. Boars are well known to continue fighting until LONG after it’s hopeless. That’s what makes them so dangerous. They’ll sustain serious, and ultimately fatal injuries but will fight as hard and recklessly as ever until they drop dead. I thought that was really clever.
I love the fact that you've seen some of our crazy 70's monty pythons. And if my memory serves me correctly,you did a great video on British football chants! I never forget a beautiful face 😉
It’s incredible how Monty Python has spread across the world. I was in international business manager for two decades and you could guarantee when you met a new distributor one or more people would recite a Monty Python joke or phrase. I have heard them recited to me in every accent now… Cantonese (funny in itself), German, French, Arabic… Funny thing was; I was never into Monty Python so initially I did not know any of the phrases and they were horrified that a Brit didn’t get MP… but through my foreign colleagues I have learnt almost every phrase and clip from all of the movies.😂 The thing is… I still have not watched any of the Monty Python films… none of them.😂
Amanda, watch this whole movie, and take in the epicness of the joke they start in the first scene with the conversation about the flight patterns of swallows. They keep this joke going through to the end and the payoff is the best punchline in the history of movies.
Being somewhat accident-prone, 'I've 'ad worse' is my stock answer on returning home from my business bloodied and the children would scream; 'Daddy! What have you done now!" which will be incised on my grave marker.
I always enjoy the way Americans pronounce "Monty Python" with an emphasis on "thon" In the UK the "thon" is pronounced almost as "thn" so its "Monty Pythn"
Strangely I noticed this too, in English English it is more like Monty Pythun or if you come from the county of Essex, Monty Pyfun. One American English pronunciation which always throws me is MossCow which in English English is Mossco and in Russian Moskva of course.
@@welshskies Oi. I was born in Essex mate and I pronounce it Python. We're not all backward Essex born. Some of us developed proper diction in our youth. I also pronounce all of my H's. 🤣
@@Womberto Milligan aired 6 months before Python and was watched by Cleese whilst writing for Python and whilst the Pythons acknowledged the influence of Milligan it hardly amounts to the Pythons ripping Milligan off by *copying* him
@@Womberto A radio show isn't the same thing as a TV show which is why I referred to Milligan's TV show. I'm aware that Milligan accused the Pythons of copying him but this is a point they disagree with however the Pythons acknowledged the influence of Milligan and openly stated that because of Milligan they were able to push the boundaries of their own comedy much further. If you want to believe that influencing is the same as copying that's up to you.
there is a guy called Guru that does little music videos often using Pythons material but also shows like Black Adder.This scene is used in one tune along with video and one of my faves is Flash By Name with Rick Mayal in Black Adder .You might find these fun
Hi Amanda, I thoroughly recommend that you check out another Monty Python classic, The Life of Brian, utterly hilarious, you will be in hysterics, love The Holy Grail as well!! 😀 😀
Patsy (the little guy with the coconut halves - they had to use coconut halves because the production couldn't afford horses) is one of the directors of The Holy Grail, Terry Gilliam. He later directed "12 Monkeys" with Brad Pitt and an amazing film called "Brazil" that you should watch. He is the only American in Monty Python.
@@LADYRAEUK 12 Monkeys was great, The Fisher King was greater, and Brazil is one of my favorite movies (and a quick shout out to The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen)... But first please watch the entire Monty Python and the Holy Grail. That scene was only the tip of the iceberg...
12 monkeys was amazing! Absolutely loved it, i think I remember watching the fisher king years ago, did it have robin williams in it, where his wife was killed in a restaurant?
@@LADYRAEUK From their sketches (the original Monty Python's Flying Circus TV series), I recommend Argument Clinic, Spanish Inquisition, Ministry of Silly Walks, Dead Parrot, Confuse a Cat for starters
English public school joke. English _public_ schools would be called private schools in USA. Latin still taught in many much like that scene which I agree is excellent.
So much comedic gold in this short clip. If you haven’t watched it yet, you need to watch the French taunting scene from this movie. It will have you rolling.
I remember this when it was fresh 1960s and 70s, i used to sneak out late at nigh and put tv on to see it. I was still at school then. Its still hillarious even now,
@@LADYRAEUK I would be laughing hysterically at The Holy Grail and the wife would walk through and say, "It's not that funny!" I had to beg to differ, lol!
Brilliant film , I saw in the cinema when it was released in the 70`s . So many funny scenes . Try the castle scene with the french " I told them we already have one" . And we normally say it as pythen , but its just accent .
I saw The Holy Grail in our local cinema near Birmingham (UK) back in 1975. I was 12 and at school, it was snowing really bad and at about 11am the head master said we could go home because most of the teachers just couldn't get in. One of my mates said, "What shall we do?" I said, "Lets go and see the new Monty Python film." The cinema was about 15 minute walk from the school, so that's what we did. The support film was "And now for something completely different", a compilation film of all the best MP sketches. What a great memory, me and eight of my school mates, the only ones in the cinema watching MP together, crying with laughter for about 3hrs. I really miss those days! "NEEEEE!!!!"
As a former Infantry Officer in Her (now His) Britannic Majesties Army, I can confirm that any injury, no matter how severe, was met with 'Ha! Tis but a scratch' by the squaddies. Some things never change.
I went to a Renaissance Faire here in SoCal dressed as the Black Knight, complete with severed arm… it was impossible to move ten feet without getting mobbed for photos. Obviously everyone throws lines at you from the movie, except everyone’s saying MY lines instead of doing King Arthur’s bit for the “true” interchange. 😂
If you haven't already, one other Monty Python reaction you should definitely do is the Holy Grail Killer Rabbit. I would really like to see how you react to that scenario.

Monty Python's budget was pretty tight for this film, hence the reason why they used coconut shells instead of real horses. It turned out to be a masterclass in comedy and enhances the film to a different level.
This movie was bankrolled by led zeppelin, pink floyd, george harrison, and a few other bands.
But where did they get the coconuts from? Coconuts are tropical. This is clearly a temperate zone.

King Arthur had a team of men backing him up but he still fought the Black Knight one-on-one. He deserves more credit for this!
Indeed he never dismounted his horse.
The Yorkshiremen sketch always gives me a stitch from laughing no matter how many times l watch it.
Though of course, that preceded Monty Python.
Only those with a certain sense of humor appreciated them. My dad loved them. We used to watch them together on National Public TV.

I think I heard the coconuts weren't originally planned. One of the funniest movies made. True comic genius.
Apparently it’s because they couldn’t afford actual horses in the production, 😂
@@LADYRAEUK Thank heaven that horses were expensive.
Indeed lol
My favorite part if the whole movie. The flesh wound never gets old.
You should look up, and possibly react to, graham chapmans funeral and his eulogy by John Cleese.
"I'm glad he's gone"
